Slow Death of Internet Privacy
It seems like privacy on the internet is gone, what have you noticed? For me I noticed email when was the last time you created an email account? did you know 2 of the largest email providers like gmail and hotmail now require phone verification to register an for an email account?
Some may wonder how exactly that kills privacy. How do you get a phone number? Usually you have to register for one, to do that you have to provide things like an address and sometimes require Federally issued ID. Now your able to be linked though this email and not to mention to get a cell phone one usually has a credit check. Now anything time you use that email to register anything else it can easily be tracked back to you. What shows you that privacy on the internet is dying?

Twitter requires a phone, Facebook requires a govt ID/Passport.. this is all around terrible.
To some extent those requirements are good to curb internet fraud and other nefarious activities. At least, the perpetrators of such vices could be traced.
you are right, you are absolutely right. Google is horrible and all of the social media. Facebook, Instagram, Tweeter, and many others track our private information. well, not mention the android and youtube are belong to Google... its really horrible.
Privacy is dead
